The problem

Small businesses areoverpaying for energy.

Whether it's a café, a convenience store, a salon or a workshop — energy is one of your biggest monthly overheads. And most SMEs are paying far more than they need to.

£4,200+
average annual overspend for SMEs on out-of-contract rates
📈

Rolling onto out-of-contract rates

When your contract expires without a renewal, suppliers move you to deemed rates — often 2–3× your contracted price. Most SMEs don't even notice until the bill arrives.

⏱️

No time to compare the market

Running a small business means energy is the last thing on your mind. Most owners spend hours on hold with suppliers or comparison sites that just sell your data.

📄

Bills full of hidden charges

Standing charges, capacity charges, climate levies — energy bills are deliberately complex. Errors and overcharges are common, and most businesses never claim them back.

🤷

No dedicated support

Call centres, chatbots, and generic advice. Most energy suppliers don't give small businesses the attention their account deserves. We do.

Why fixed rates matter

Protect your businessfrom price volatility.

The UK wholesale energy market moves constantly. Events overseas, seasonal demand, supply disruptions — your unit rate can double within months if you're not protected.

A fixed-rate contract locks in your unit rate for the full term — typically 1, 2 or 3 years — so you know exactly what you're paying, and your budget is protected regardless of what happens in the market.
